Hearts That Purr Feline Guardians
Long-Term Feline Foster Program
P.O. Box 36418
Tucson, AZ 85740
(520) 297-3780
Email: info@heartsthatpurr.orgdescription
Hearts That Purr Feline Guardians is not an animal shelter but rather a private feline retirement home. Our mission is focused on helping senior and geriatric cats who become homeless due to the illness or death of their human guardians. We rescue elderly cats who have outlived their owners when space is available.
Our Feline Guardian Lifetime Care program provides “plan-ahead” protection of one’s cat for those without a trusted friend or family member willing to take on this responsibility should a cat outlive its owner.
Our Senior Citizens and Senior Kittizens Foster program matches capable elders in our community with older kitties in need of homes in a long-term foster care arrangement and helps with the cost of care.

Kenneth Cohn, DVM House Calls
description
Because I am a semi-retired veterinarian and enjoy making house calls, I try to keep my fees as reasonable as possible. A simple examination or vaccination may cost a little more than a similar service at the veterinary clinic. Still, your pet will get a complete exam with each home visit, and I will spend as much time discussing pet care (whether yours is a puppy, a kitten, or a senior) as you would like. I can often perform more complicated in-home procedures under reversible sedation. Such procedures may include a small lumpectomy, a simple dental (where no extractions are necessary and meticulous hand scaling is adequate), or the suturing of superficial bite wounds. These services can be significantly less costly than those provided through a full-service clinic.
